Without Shame - Kitty Hanson

A Story of New York's Girl Gangs

TOWER BOOKS

NO DATE

NEW YORK, USA

This looks like/is the third edition of Rebel in the Streets with a new title and new cover art, that is a little more 'sleaze'. The title page still says Rebel in the Streets and the first printing date of 1964. There is no 'blurb' on the back cover, just part of the front cover in black and white. The inside of the front cover has "Also known as Rebel in the Streets" printed on it. It seems to me that Tower Books just re-covered old stock with a new sleazy Lesbian themed cover, maybe to cash in on a "sleaze" trend, just get rid off the dead stock or to fool people into thinking that they were getting a brand new book, whatever their reasons were, it's another cool book for us to collect!

Young Man With A Horn - Dorothy Baker

The brilliant, tough and racy novel of a great jazz musician

TOWER BOOKS T-409

CLEVELAND, OHIO, USA

FIRST PRINTING JULY 1946

COVER ART BY GUNTER

The theme of this novel is as old history-the battle of the artist against the world. But the subject of it is as new as the latest dance tune. Young Man with a Horn is the story of a jazz musician who is a genius in the art of "swing," of his meteoric rise to fame, and of the burning conflict between body and spirit.

Rick Martin is still in his early twenties when a famous orchestra leader hears him and brings him to New York, where he becomes a sensation, recognized as the greatest trumpeter in the business. He is unswervingly devoted to one thing-his music. Then, in a Harlem night club, he meets Amy North, brilliant, perverse, complex-everything that Rick is not.

Here is a story with a ring of truth; the story of an artist burdened with that difficult baggage-the soul of an artist. The clean-cut, unpretentious style, the rapid tempo are beautifully in keeping with the theme.
